Mark Barren

I practice online and from a therapy room in Streatham, SW16. I currently have availability on:

Tuesday: afternoon

Wednesday: morning, afternoon and evening 

Thursday: afternoon  

You can message me from this page to enquire about availability and arrange an initial, reduced fee consultation.

I offer a small number of low-cost sessions for those on lower incomes, please ask.

Life can feel tough at times and feelings can begin to overwhelm us.  

Perhaps you find yourself here because you are feeling anxious, angry, or sad, and can't quite put your finger on why.  

Perhaps you are finding relationships hard or are in a particularly challenging  stage of your life.

I offer a calm and empathic space for you to explore your feelings and emotions and reflect on them in the context of your full life experience.

I recognise that coming to therapy, particularly for the first time, can be hard and provide a welcoming and confidential space for you to explore what might be blocking you from living a fuller life.

As an Integrative counsellor I draw on a number of approaches, and sessions are tailored to the needs of each individual client. 

I believe strongly in the values of autonomy, choice & responsibility and hold that we all have the internal resources to find solutions that can lead to meaningful change.

I hold a Diploma in Counselling from The Minster Centre and am currently studying for my MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am DBS checked and hold full liability insurance

I offer an initial consultation at a reduced fee.  This will be a 90-minute session in which we will talk in more detail about what brings you to therapy, your background, family & relationship history, life right now and what you would like to work towards our time together.  

If you choose to continue following this consultation we will meet weekly for a 50 minute therapy session.

I currently have Friday morning availability for my face to face practice on Lonsdale Road, Queens Park, NW6.  

If you require other availability I offer online and face to face sessions from my therapy room in Streatham SW16.
